Lynn University breaks enrollment record for Fall 2021

Lynn University marked the start of its 2021–22 academic year with the largest incoming class in its 60-year history. Approximately 1,246 new students, including 858 first-year and transfer students, began classes today.

"Lynn's innovative, global and personalized academic experience is what continues to bring students to our campus year after year," said Gareth Fowles, Lynn's vice president for enrollment management. "We offer students flexibility and the opportunity to create their own unique path to their future—it's what makes our campus special."

The incoming class, which also includes 288 master's students, 85 online bachelor’s students and 15 doctoral candidates, come from 68 countries and 41 U.S. territories and states. The average first-year GPA is 3.29.

The Class of 2025 also represents diverse interests, such as:

• Floridian Ioan Constantin, a drone pilot and mechanic who has won several flying competitions, including one with NASA.
• Noam Cohen, a student from Illinois who has a quarter million followers on TikTok and is filming a documentary about his experiences creating videos on the social network.
• Michelle Anglarill Greminger from Bolivia, who began her first business at eight years old and recently cofounded a raffle-based charity raising funds for those in need.
• Arya Golchha from Nepal, who established a startup called Enki that sells hoodies to support educational scholarships for children.

In addition to record enrollment, more students are not only choosing Lynn, but they are choosing to stay and complete their degree as a Fighting Knight, too. Lynn expects to welcome back 2,127 students this year, marking the university's largest overall enrollment yet.

"We communicate with students now more than ever about their success at Lynn and the resources available to them," said Fowles. "I'm proud of the unwavering commitment and empathy our faculty, academic advisors and student success team have provided to our students to keep them on track to graduation."

While the university welcomes the Class of 2025, the Office of Admission is already looking ahead to next year. Applications are open for Fall 2022, and campus tours continue. Learn more about admission to Lynn.
